Lots of mistakes by the Roman army, if I remember from reading about this it was a gruesome battle. The Germans of that time liked to sacrifice some of their captured enemies, which must not of endeared them to the Roman soldiers. No wonder that the soldiers didn’t want to leave them anything. I think that they have found other things associated with the battle but this horse head is the most impressive.
